"So God created mankind in his own image — in the image of God he created them." — Genesis 1:27

This is not a form. It is the first instrument.

What you write here is not a submission for approval. It is the first specific, named articulation of the territory you are about to enter. Read what you write before you submit it. If it is accurate, submit it. If you wrote for approval rather than for precision, rewrite it.

The engagement begins here.

01 of 08
What are you building.
Not as a category. Not as a vision statement. The specific thing that has no existing category and that you have been carrying longer than you have been able to name it. One sentence. If you need more than one sentence it is not yet specific enough.
02 of 08
Name the ceiling.
Not what is frustrating you — the specific architectural limit of what you can build from where you are currently standing. Then name the last three times you reached it and what you did instead of going through it.
03 of 08
What have you already tried.
Name what you believed each attempt would produce versus what it actually produced. Do not explain why it did not work. Name what you believed and what happened.
04 of 08
Describe the version of your work that is not yet possible.
The output, the reach, the authority, the territory — that would exist if the thing that is limiting you were no longer operative. Be specific enough that a stranger could tell you whether it had arrived.
05 of 08
Name what you are.
Not what you do. The specific configuration, authority, perception — the thing you carry that you have not yet made fully operative in your work. The thing that is present but not yet entirely deployed.
06 of 08
Name the declaration you have been withholding.
The price not posted. The positioning not claimed. The territory not named. Then name specifically what you believe will happen if you say it.
07 of 08
What is your capacity to receive direct challenge to the frameworks you build from.
Not whether you are open — everyone says yes. Name the last time someone challenged a framework you were building on and what you did with it.
08 of 08
Why now.
Not your circumstances. The specific thing that has shifted in you that makes this the moment rather than a year ago or a year from now.
Read what you wrote. If it is accurate — if every sentence names what is actually true rather than what sounds right — submit it. If anything was managed, rewrite it first. The engagement begins here, not at the first session.
